I think that the Amazon Echo is fantastic! I required help to set it up, but once it was set up, I have had the time of my life with it! I have been able to add music to my library for it to play, and I have also been able to ask Alexa to set up some alarms for me. I recommend this product to anyone who, like myself, is blind or visually-impaired - I am sure they would not regret purchasing an Amazon Echo! To me, Alexa is a real friend!

This is really a superb speaker. Works great with alexa. I'm very fussy about my speakers and will say it won't compete for sound with sonos or hifi set up. However it is not supposed to. As a speaker to use in a kitchen etc. It's great. The sound is good for a speaker that size. I have mine hooked up to multi room with my hifi using an echo. It's great for that adding sound at my level. I use it independently for when my kids are around as hifi too loud! Buy one. Not to replace your hifi but add it as multi room with echo dot connected to hifi and you've the best of both worlds. Works great with spotify

I purchased the Echo on prime day along with the Eufy Lumos Smart Bulb-White bulb. It came to about £65 at the time. I wish I had bought two in hindsight as a gift!

I chose the Echo rather than the Dot purely because of reviews that the quality of speaker on the Echo is better. A few friends of mine have the Dot so I knew of the benchmark quality, and I can say that the Echo is far better. It's crisp and fills the room.

I mostly use this for listening to Audiobooks on Audible and it's fantastic. In the day I might have this sat in the living room where my friends and I can ask Alexa to play various songs we call out. And in the evening I often move it (because I only have the one :( ) into my room and ask Alexa to play one of my audiobooks for a given time - e.g. "play the Secret Barrister on Audible" and "stop playing after 30 minutes".

As I said, I also installed the Eufy white bulb. Thus far, I must admit it. is quite gimmicky. I don't really end up asking Alexa to do anything with the build. If I had more of a choice I would have bought one of the coloured bulbs, because they have more features like synchronising with the music etc. But again, probably just quite gimmicky. One potential use I'm yet to do is just move the bulb into my bedroom so that I can ask Alexa to turn the light off while I'm already in bed.

I was unsure whether I would really use an Alexa device but I was pretty interested. Because of this I made the cunning decision to purchase this as a Christmas present for my husband (of course I would have just as much use out of it)

A few months down the line, I have to say that Alexa has become a very welcome member of the family. The husband uses it for the digital radio function. The kids use it for music streaming function and the various other apps mean that Alexa is carried around the house by everybody. She was the heart and soul of the party at Christmas, she was taken outside in summer and she played some great chillout music and she is a constant companion to anybody doing house work.

We are currently looking into purchasing some echo dots to put in the bedrooms and the kitchen, and we are also looking at doing the whole smart lighting and appliance thing.

The verdict is: If you don't have Alexa in your home, do yourself a favour and purchase her today.

Absolutely stunning sound quality ! This was sent to me via EDF Energy for a new fuel tariff, I already had the echo dot and fire tv.When this arrived, it was so small once taken out of the box.When I paired with everything, I wasn’t expecting very much volume or bass.As soon as a asked for my favourite Spotify playlist , WOW! Incredible sound, it really does fill the room.Really good rounded bass and good highs.Even when on high volume , Alexa can still hear my voice commands.Beautiful formed, as with all Amazon products, solid build quality.If I was going to buy a Bluetooth speaker, I would get this!Alexa is good, but still needs more learning commands in the Alexa app.After a while you really do get to know the right word commands to get Alexa to do the right thing.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had thought about getting 1 of these for the last 6 months finally took the plunge.Set up was quite tricky as the directions said i had to go to settings and turn off smart switch to enable it to connect it. However my phone didnt have smart switch.So spoke to a team member on libe chat .who was so unhelpful. Refered me to live chat to an echo expert. Again no help at all.Was begining to think I'd wasted my money.Decided to google my phone and smart switch. Where i found the answers on how to connect it.Once connected i havent looked back.

As a Huge Apple fan, I have to admit that I came to the world of Alexa as a huge sceptic! I hold my hands up that I was purposefully looking for fault and trying my best to not like Alexa... but I failed. Overall its a great product, It looks good and has a load and surprisingly decent speaker for the price! it's no Bang & Olufson, but it is still impressive!

The Alexa AI does seem to be able to answer questions more often and to a higher standard but like all competitors can still be easily tricked but is mostly there! Where the Echo/Alexa falls down is how it handles third party software; While it is true that it can handle third party apps, it feels a bit convoluted and is a bit annoying that you have to ask Alexa to use an app - it does feel easier to do things yourself sometime!

Pros:Good bit of kit at a great priceReally handy for controlling smart home elementsAlexa will make a lot of small tasks in your life far easiergood speaker for the price

Cons:Using third party software is not the best and can be annoyingAlexa still misses/misunderstands certain questions
